About Us

PolitiScope is a brand new citizen journalism intiative powered by the #auspol twitter hashtag community - one of the largest and most active political hashtag communities in the world.

#auspol members include politicians (past & present), journalists and commentators, academics and professionals, experts and concerned Australians from all walks of life - who actively share a huge range of highly informed views and information every moment of the day through Twitter.

Through PolitiScope we'll create and curate content...

- members of the #auspol community will share their very well informed political knowledge and insights on a broad range of topics and policy areas through multiple platforms and formats.

- PolitiScope will also curate a range of content from political and news media. We encourage the support of good, truthful and non-bias political journalism.

Our aim is to not only bring greater depth, insight and context to the political debate - but also move beyond the #auspol community to create more awareness for politics in the Australian community (see image on this page).
